Pat Brueckner (Massachusetts) says:
The diced pears absorb the sugar, giving each mouthful a flavorful burst. The cake portion is moist and flavorful -- the chopped pecans are essential for this effect, so don't omit them. Cake is great, even without the apple juice topping. We always bake with nutmeg and allspice berries, ground in the kitchen with a mortar & pestle. (Ground cinammon has always worked fine). Excellent recipe.
